Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Doctor Ever!

Dr. Assayag has been extremely attentive and caring throughout and each time I met him (whether in person or virtually) he always eases my mind and reassures me about my situation and offers concrete action plans for me to follow.

I saw Dr Assayag for limb lengthening. Overall everything went really well and I'm grateful to him, but I felt that some of the concerns I raised during appointments were belittled and left un-addressed. I understand that he's busy, however, I was happy to talk to his PA or someone else on staff, but he insisted on being the main point of contact always. I also didn't always feel that he was communicating with me whenever he noticed issues with my gait or problematic areas where I had muscle tightness or weakness.

Amazing Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Assayag is who all doctors should strive to be. Dr. Assayag works to get the job finished and doesn't sugarcoat anything. I had surgery for a delayed or nonunion in my femur and Dr. Assayag really cares about his patients and wants them to get better. I have nothing but good words and highest praise for Dr. Assayag and his team

The most incredible surgeon in the world
Dr. Assayag is superhuman. His energy is benevolent, his intelligence is otherworldly, and his compassion is unmatched in the world of medicine. He understands how to connect with his patients on a personal level and ease any fears or concerns. He sees the human body as a dynamic vessel with a beautiful ability to renew and regenerate. His calm demeanor is comforting and reassuring - it’s very clear that he goes through life with a positive attitude and maintains equanimity at all times. It’s not often that you meet someone with a gift like his. I am in the process of going through multiple surgeries to fix a deformity that has greatly affected my quality of life. Dr. Assayag has restored my outlook and given me a reason to keep going. I feel so grateful to have him as my surgeon. He’s the most incredible doctor and human being that I’ve ever met. His entire team is amazing. Thank you for all that you do.

He is one of the best orthopedic physicians.
Dr. Michael Assayag is respectful and very knowledgeable about orthopedic conditions. His work speaks for him. He genuinely answered my questions, clarified my concerns, and offered solutions. He is culturally sensitive and allowed me as his patient to exercise my autonomous rights in decision-making concerning my treatment. I will gladly recommend him to anyone that I know who needs an expert opinion about orthopedic problems.

The best orthopedic doctor in the US
Dr Assayag is the most intelligent and compassionate doctors I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I wholeheartedly trust him and his team, and I am very excited for my future because of the care he provided for me. I had limb lengthening surgery, and I was able to reach Dr Assayag any time, he answered all my questions, and most importantly, he did the surgery perfectly. The best orthopedic doctor in the United States. Super intelligent, super compassionate, and a nice person to talk to. His team is the best in the United States and he is the best doctor in the United States. Thank you for changing my life.

Skilled and compassionate leg lengthening doctor
I did extensive research over many months about surgery (ad nauseum) because I was concerned about the risks. My analysis showed that Dr. Assayag was the best choice. My analysis proved to be correct. There are a few skilled doctors in this area but he is kind and compassionate along with being talented and highly intelligent. Humility is a strength because it means you are teachable and always willing to expand your knowledge. It is so rare to find that in my experience. I trust my and my family's life with him because he is honest and knows what he is doing. We traveled miles to be treated by him. If you are hesitant on LL, I tell you it was one of the best decisions I ever made. [After Effect = Priceless]

Horrible experience. Get 2nd opinion
In my opinion. Wrong diagnosis. Had multiple fractures. Wrong equipment provided. Said I was lucky to see him and not PA. But billed for MD appt. Pain was extreme. Multiple new fractures and he appeared to not know what to do. Rude arrogant, and just plain ignorant. Big mistake going to him. Followed up with better MD you can too. Don’t put up with this.

The BEST!!!!
Dr. Assayag is a true professional in every aspect of the word! He was very caring and passionate about my surgical needs. He is very passionate about helping people genuinely. I had a rod in my femur for 10 years and had some concerns about getting it removed, Dr Assayag informed me of what he would be able to provide and how to go about getting the results we wanted. He did the surgery and it was a complete success with no complications. In addition to being an expert he is a very cool and friendly person, very positive and kind. He's made this whole process very hopeful and positive for me, I recommend anyone thinking about having surgery to consult this man as he is one of the BEST!!!
